CBC
A man and a woman have been charged following a stabbing at Dundas Station last week, Toronto police say.
In a news release Saturday, the Toronto Police Service said the two involved in the altercation were charged with assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
On Nov. 26, a Toronto Transit Commission employee was allegedly stabbed and seriously wounded at a downtown subway station, Toronto police said in a post to social media that day.
Officers responded to the area of Yonge Street and Dundas Street E. at approximately 1:10 p.m. The suspect, who was arrested at the scene, was also seriously injured, police said.
In Saturday’s release, Toronto police outlined the incident, stating the two allegedly became engaged in a verbal altercation near the TTC fare wickets inside the subway station.
The two allegedly assaulted each other and the TTC employee, who is a woman, then stabbed the customer, who is a man, with a knife, police said. After the two parties were separated, police say the man returned and stabbed the TTC employee with a knife.
In an email to CBC Toronto, police said it is alleged that the two had separate knives.
CBC Toronto reached out to the TTC for comment. The public transportation agency declined to say if the woman is still employed or on leave.
The two were transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the Toronto Police Service said in Saturday’s release.
Toronto paramedics confirmed to CBC Toronto on Nov. 26 that both had been taken to a local hospital.
According to police, the TTC employee and customer are not known to each other.
While the man was charged on the day of the incident, the woman was not arrested until Friday. Toronto police say this was a result of further investigation.
The man was scheduled to appear at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on Nov. 27. The woman is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in January 2026.
